So give us the full review goblue90. It appears you got 15rwhp/20rwtq with this upgrade, not bad and from what I can tell there is no loss of top end power. Still not sure why that other member got something like 70rwtq and you didn't. How much was the install price and was it a challenge for your shop to install if you don't mind me asking? When are you going to the track?

The shop did a great job with the install but underestimated how long it would take. They ended up cutting off the old pulley and were being extra careful. I think if another R pulled into the garage next week wanting the same pulley installed, they'd most likely charge more. I hope to go to the track soon!

I'm bumping this up, cause it's even more relevant to me now
goblue, check out my thread here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-my-xjr-96325/
I see the vid with your bonnet up on the dyno, mine actually gained another 20HP with the engine cover on and the bonnet closed!
Interesting that both our cars hit the 340HP mark at about the same revs, but mine flattened out & yours just kept on climbing...must be the exhaust?

Interesting observation about the bonnet position. I'm due for another dyno session to measure the impact of the Mina intake, but i don't think having the bonnet closed will help. I like to drive around with a scangauge plugged into the OBD port, and here's what I saw the other day in stop and go traffic here in the DC area (outside temp was ~ 80 degrees F):
I don't recall the intake temp (top left) ever getting that high with the stock intake. Anyway, I'll post my results to this thread, so stay tuned...
